Hanoi University of Science and Technology to relocate Parabol Gate

Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) announced that the iconic Parabol Gate is scheduled to be relocated this week. The move is part of a synchronized site clearance plan for the National Highway 1A spatial axis project on Giai Phong Street in the Bach Mai ward of Hanoi.

Under the approved plan, the gate will be moved approximately 20 meters inward from its current position. The relocation is being coordinated with the Hanoi People's Committee, and the construction unit for the National Highway 1A project will lead the implementation.

Despite the change in location, the university stated that the gate will be preserved to maintain its symbolic value and architectural significance. Built over 50 years ago, the Parabol Gate is a landmark for generations of students. The broader highway project aims to develop a 36.3km stretch from the Kim Lien tunnel intersection to the Cau Gie area, with completion expected by 2027.
